ICC AWARDS: Sussex's Prior, Joyce and Taylor amongst Nominees

There is plenty of Sussex interest in the ICC Award Nominees which were announced this morning, along with wicketkeeper-batsman Matt Prior (pictured) taking his place in the ICC Test Team of the Year.

He is one of three England players in the line-up, which also includes Alastair Cook and Stuart Broad. ICC chief executive David Richardson said: “Those selected can be justifiably proud of their achievements and well deserving of the recognition they receive as great cricketers of their era.

“The quality of the Test cricket played over the course of the year has been exceptional and I did not envy the selectors in their task of selecting the best. Congratulations to those who have made it. They make a formidable team.”

The nominations for the individual categories are also littered with Sussex interest.

Ed Joyce, who has recently taken over the captaincy in both the LV=County Championship and Clydesdale Bank 40 for Sussex, is nominated in the ICC Associate and Affiliate Cricketer of the Year category, whilst Sarah Taylor of the Sussex Womens team has been nominated in both the ICC Women's ODI Cricketer of the Year and ICC Women's T20I Cricketer of the Year categories.
